The great potato debate.

I'm not really that fond of mashed potatoes... Unless they are smashed with other veggies.

Has anyone made bread using whole grains and potato flour? How does it turn out.

Just wondering but how much of is the Irish diet is consumed in potatoes?

What are the best and healthy toppings for micowaved and baked potatoes? I pretty much use butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. I'm thinking of trying Olive oil or soy sauce. Sesame oil maybe?

What do you use?

Not a big fan of baked potato, but "healthy" would be using less fat. If you like butter, I'd use butter. I'm not sure a switch to olive oil would make it "healthier" if you're using the same quantity. Black pepper is all a tater really needs. For fried varieties, I like Tabasco.

I try to use moderate amounts of unsalted butter and go easy on the salt, but I do wonder if I am actually consuming too much of both as I do eat whole potatoes regularly.

I make this kapusniak every once in a while. It's delicious

I'm eating it right now and it's really freaking good! I left out the bacon but I'll probably use it next time. This could become a winter staple for me. Thanks for the recipe.

I often use salt pork or cheeks or something like that, but yeah, you can take it or leave it. Depending on the kielbasa that you use, the extra fat can be overpowering or weak, so the extra fatty pork might be too much. I like it a bit lighter, but not too light. I've definitely gone without the extra pork at times.

I just made salt potatoes. With way too much melted butter. So freakin' good. The top of my black stove, though, looks like a junior high science experiment gone wrong.

Well too salt for me, and prefer my spuds steamed in the micowave anyway, but thanks.
